Thin Sliced Round Steak with Onion Sauce

Beef steaks in onion sauce are one of my favorite dishes to make on weekends or for special occasions. We've prepared them many times for holidays and family celebrations. It’s a simple recipe, but it does require a bit of patience — the steaks need to cook slowly for about two hours. It’s really important to keep the heat low and avoid letting them boil, or they’ll lose their tenderness and juiciness. Done right, they should be so soft they practically melt in your mouth.

Juicy beef steaks in onion sauce

These beef steaks in onion sauce are incredibly tender and juicy — they practically melt in your mouth. The onion sauce is smooth and delicately flavored, bringing everything together with just the right touch. It’s the kind of comforting, home-cooked meal the whole family will love. These are the top reasons why we adore it:

Tender and juicy meat – When prepared and braised properly, the steaks stay soft and literally melt in your mouth.
Flavorful – The onion sauce adds a subtle sweetness to the meat. It’s important to slice the onions thinly and cook them slowly to develop a deep, caramelized flavor.
Simple to make – This dish doesn’t require any advanced techniques; the key is slow, patient cooking over low heat.
Choose your favorite side dish – Serve it with mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, or even traditional dumplings.
Make ahead or store for later – If you have leftovers, they keep well in the fridge, or you can make the dish ahead of time and freeze it for later.
